ANTIOXIDANT PROFILE
Our bodies naturally protect themselves against free radicals with a class of substances called antioxidants. Antioxidants act as diffusers of these molecular time-bombs.
Biological `free radicals` are highly reactive oxygen species derived from the environment, the diet and from normal biochemical processes occurring in the body.
Free radicals can attack, damage and ultimately destroy any material including the sensitive cells and tissues inside the body. Free radicals can do a lot of damage by reprogramming our DNA.
Free radicals occur when healthy oxygen molecules are transformed into a highly reactive, unstable form of oxygen. This transformation occurs by things we trust most like sunlight, the air we breathe, the food we eat and things we do everyday, like exercise.
One free radical can initiate literally tens of thousands of reactions. If not stopped one free radical can go on to create very serious havoc in the area it has initiated.
To protect against the damaging effects of free radicals, the body needs sufficient antioxidant protection to keep these free radicals under control. Antioxidants effectively `mop-up` the free radicals before they can cause any damage.
Vitamins A, C and E, Selenium and Coenzyme Q10 are known for their antioxidant properties.
We recommend that you do not use any dietary supplements before consulting your General Practitioner.
